Old Dried Leaves work really well...

I overdied the silk from last week that I bundled with fresh beet leaves which just stained the fabric but left no leaf impressions. I used some more of the old dried leaves I had saved from last year---some oak, chinese tallow and a 3 petaled purple leaf that has a pink flower (can't think of the name right now). I'm pleased with the way it turned out and plan on going out to collect some more leaves today. Looks like the chinese tallow leaves left impressions but the oak leaves just left some good color.
